At first glance, my case appeared to me to be fairly simple. As the evidence poured in it was anything but. Mat spent countless hours researching and talking with detectives and the prosecutor and stood by my side the whole way. My thanks go out to Mat and the whole team at Bigskylegal for getting me an outcome better than I could have ever hoped for. B.L.

"My experience with Stevenson Law Office exceeded my expectations and the attorneys are above reproach. Mat Stevenson and David Maldonado handled both my criminal and family law cases. They worked aggressively, communicated with me often, and handled both my cases with class. These guys are legal geniuses!! If you want respect, unparalleled legal services for a criminal or family law case, and the most positive outcome in your case, then these are your guys, bar none."

I felt it necessary to write a review of the service and professionalism I have received from Stevenson Law Office. First off, let me say. ..I am 100% sure that I would be serving a 10 year prison sentence at this time if not for this team. I was very guilty of the crime I was charged with and it was not a winnable case. I was told by 2 different public defenders that there was nothing that could be done and I needed to come to peace with my fate and serve my sentence. Now understand, I did not need innocence or guilt argued. I needed a strong and understanding attorney to argue my sentence and convince prosecutors that prison was not the appropriate sentence. This took due diligence on my part to find a very strong attorney that could handle a burden of this level. Almost every attorney I spoke with, after looking at case facts, told me they could not help me. Mat Stevenson looked at this case and understood exactly why prison was not the right option. He took the case and negotiated tirelessly to show prosecutors why they needed to revisit my sentence. I have never seen a attorney that was able to negotiate an unwinnable case that has no leveraging against prosecutors to argue for a reduced sentence. That said, Mat and David did exactly that. I did not serve 1 second in prison and won't. I needed the court to see my perspective on my case and no attorney was even willing to try. Mat took on this case and from day one, began to show the court why my freedom was appropriate. Mat is beyond skilled and extremely knowledgeable. He has saved our family and our future and I highly encourage anyone facing a serious crime to not risk your freedom and immediately hire this team. I can tell you that money was a very small amount of this team's motivation. I obviously paid them, but not nearly what the few others that were considering this case had quoted me. Don't risk your future. ..hire Mat and don't waste precious time dealing with attorneys that don't care about more than your dollar. In my family's honest opinion, if more attorneys operated like Mat, there would be a more trust worthy legal system. Thank you Mat and David, we could never repay what you've done for us.

I was sentenced to 21 years probation in 2004. I realized I had changed in the last ten years and wanted my past behind me. I hired Mat Stevenson to represent me and I could not be happier!
Mat and his top notch legal representation of me, was able to get the last eleven years of my probation dropped. He is an amazing lawyer that gets the job done at a reasonable price.

My case dismissed

I was incarcerated in the Ravalli County Jail without ever seeing a judge. The Public Defender I had never ever came to see me and even made me miss a court date. I was incarcerated for 73 days without ever seeing a judge. I hired Mat Stevenson, he asked for an immediate hearing and he got my no bond hold lifted and after posting $5000 I was released the very next day after hiring him. I am so pleased with the work Mat did on my case. He petitioned to have my revocation dismissed, which the judge granted. I was looking at five years DOC and Mat kept that from happening. I really feel Mat is one of the best attorneys I have ever met or seen in a court. He really cares about his clients and works very hard on their behalf. If I hadn't hired Mat I could possibly be doing 5 years in prison, not only did that NOT happen but he got everything dismissed and I didn't even lose my 2 years paper time. Mat is the best and I would recommend him to anyone needing a attorney. He truly works miracles for his clients.

Mathew Stevenson is the best attorney in Montana no question! I was blessed to have the chance to be represented by an individual of such a high caliber. His poise and attention to detail place him in a league all of his own. He has helped me several times in a way my family and I could never repay. Thank you Mat. HT Missoula, MT

Very satisfied with the out come of my court case. Matt effectively had my charges reduced with minimal fines imposed and most importantly no jail time. I'm from out of state and was allowed to return home based on his efforts at my first court date which had originally been set for October, my accident happened in early August, but due to my circumstances was moved by Matt to the third week in August so I could leave ASAP. Anyone who has to retain a lawyer for whatever reason, or is a first timer like I was, knows how stressful it can be but he really made this as painless as possible and over with in a timely manner. I'll just reiterate again how happy I am with Matt and the results of my case. Thank you ,

No Prison

I was charged with a very serious felony in Ravalli County, Montana in 2007. I have a minor criminal history and the two other lawyers I interviewed told me I would definitely be going to prison. I hired Mat Stevenson because he was extremely confident that he could get me a sentence that would not result in me going to prison. My charges were reduced and I ended up with time served about (2 months) and probation. I hope that I am never in any trouble again but if I need a lawyer Mat would be my first choice.
